Abstract

Failure of guide wire crossing is the commonest reason for failed procedure in chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the coronary arteries. Intravascular ultrasound can be useful in some cases to achieve. Successful guide wire crossing into the distal true lumen of the coronary artery. We describe two cases demonstrating the role of intravascular ultrasound in successful recannalization of the CTO.
